Mild elevation in chloride should not be a cause of concern and further investigations are not warranted. No, your chloride level doesn't suggest renal disease. You should try to manage your pelvic discomfort with lifestyle modification initially, if possible. Maintain a healthy lifestyle including balanced diet and regular exercise for optional functioning of kidney and other organs.
